Amazing work. Really really amazing work. One of the best Puppies I have ever seen. Currently my favourite. Well done. On behalf of the community, I want to say thank you VERY much for releasing this outstanding Puppy. It really is amazing. Thank you very much. Good job.

I have tested to boot frugally on a Acer D250 now
and changed to English but with Swedish keyboard
to get åäö but the icons still are in German.
I guess you have described how to change them?
One can edit each I guess manually?

Seems it demands much on the single cpu I have.

Something going in background that needed much cpu power?_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

I inserted nothing that goes into background and uses much cpu power. Maybe it is the "pwidgets"?

I have edited the "custompin" in "/root/.desksetup". Please copy and paste the following code into "/root/.desksetup/custompin" (or edit it manually) and you should get the english icon..

You can also use "Desksetup Templates for Desk Icons" in the desktop menu. Choose (f.e.) Traditional and then click OK or APPLY. After X is restarted the icons should be shown in english. You can run "Desksetup Templates for Desk Icons" again and then clicking on the disk icon. After that "custompin" in "/root/.desksetup" should be replaced by your own settings.

Thank you very much, but don't forget: this all has only been possible by the excellent work (and programming) of 01micko, playdayz and some further lucid puppy developers and contributers (not to forget: BarryK).

Downloaded and working in English
(Some desktop icons say Konsole etc but I worked it out)
Large and comprehensive with FireFox 7 and all the trimmings

At first read i did not really understand but while i am typing i come through it. You surely mean the german desktop icons (like nooby).

I have just overseen that.

Thank you all very much for your kind words and downloading LazY Puppy 5.2.8-4.

As I understand it the SFS can be used in the latest standard Lucid?
People do appreciate your efforts.
Larry has continued to develop and refine Lucid. It is always good to see a different and new effort.
I am always proud that Puppy is developed for languages other than English. I am always glad that people offer and share their efforts and acknowledge the tremendous efforts of the whole flock of penguins and Puppy kennel.
Are you coding and compiling some of your code in Pascal? That is new.
Do tell us about your experiences in putting this together. Few people realize the work involved until told . . .
Anyway well done. _________________Puppy WIKI

I am really very much surprised of your kind words and especially the downloads (by now: 117 iso and 26 exe downloaded)

Thank you again for that.

Yes, but as you can see in the images posted to the sfs files: you will not get any menu entry in lucid. I don't want to get disordered my basic menu structure and so i have chosen to put everything that is in a sfs into its own sfs menu. This has to do with several reasons like my age (fourty-eight), my bad eys (need glasses to work on my computer/puppy but not while drumming), my uusing of several computers and OS's and not everytime to know, "where is what?".

I think this is a good solution.

And I'm sure these additional .sfs files will be extremely useful for many (certainly for me), even if some of them won't be using LazY itself.

I found out that some of the sfs or similar included programs do not work with every other puppy. Just to prevent users from downloading of files that won't work for them i have chosen to post no links to the sfs files.

That's why i have created the QuickInstall, to make sure, you can download the sfs only from inside LazY Puppy 528-4.

Unfortunately i have to go offline for a few days, because of my expensive internet provider. Normally i am a "fulltime-offliner" because i don't like the internet very much. I fact of using several computers in several locations i use a mobile gprs modem to get onto the internet. It has been a good solution to me until now. I did just use it to update some software from time to time.

Since i have joined the forum i have been more often online than the last three years ago. That's why i have to change the contract and/or the provider.

Thanks for giving all the details instructions such is appreciated.
Okay about the expensive ISP Yes GPRS can be expensive in Sweden too._________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
